Flies are a nuisance that can also pose serious health concerns. They can pass diseases onto humans and affect food safety in convenience stores, grocery stores, restaurants, and many other businesses. In fact, flies can carry more diseases than cockroaches. Flies can also pose economic concerns and tarnish the reputation of a business when they affect your ability to follow strict government regulations.
